Lisa's Oak St. Lounge

From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History

1004 E Oak Street Louisville, KY 40204 USA

Lisa's was a Germantown dive, with yellow tape in front of the stage and $2 beers out of a cooler. Never a space for all-ages shows by any stretch but the space hosted several 21+ locals along with the occasional touring act. Metal and experimental acts really flocked to this space too, as it hosted Louisville Experimental Festival on a couple occasions, among other events. Lisa's opened in 2004 with their earliest known shows in 2006.

Closed in September 2014 to which it would become Kaiju on 4 December 2014.
